Welcome back!
The Office of Environmental Health and Safety reminds everyone on campus to be mindful of the following fire safety issues:
- Keep all exits and means of egress free of items;
- Do not block fire extinguishers
- Power strips, extension cords, refrigerators and portable heaters must be plugged directly in to wall outlets;
- Extension cords are for temporary use only; no house hold extension cords are allowed on campus. For more information on extension cord safety, see the fact sheet;
- Stored item must have 18″ of ceiling clearance in buildings with sprinklers and 24″ of ceiling clearance in buildings with no sprinkler system;
- Burning of candles, incenses or sparklers is prohibited;
- When cooking, especially popcorn, do not leave food unattended;
- When you hear or see the fire alarm, immediately gather your items and leave the building; do not re-enter the building until given the “All Clear” by Public Safety or the Fire Department.
